Smeg STA 8745 dishwasher aquastop problem

[mandarintje]

Hi, I have a brand new SMEG dishwasher, fully integrated into my newly installed kitchen. Very cleverly, the plinth is all siliconed in place so I can't get the dishwasher out to check if the bottom panel is flooded.
Light 1 is flashing, light 5 is constant.

Of course Smeg can't come for ages. Model STA 8745

Apart from an actual leak from the dishwasher, could it be anything else? and is it servicable without removing the whole unit from the kitchen?

Any troubleshooting ideas? I've seen some great suggestions from other people on this forum.... and tried Sleepyhead's reset technique by holding the off button and pressing the program button 4 times in quick succession but it didn't work with my model.

And finally, if it has leaked....where could it leak from, the pipe or the washing chamber?

I ***knew*** I should have bought Miele...but I got this from my kitchen shop as a "perk".

THANK YOU

I've asked my kitchen supplier to solve the problem by giving me something from another brand. From what I've read online, Smeg sounds completely useless. I hope the kitchen company will prefer to replace it directly, rather than keep coming to re-glue the plinth every week when it goes wrong again!

I find Smeg really, really cheap quality. Definitely not cheap in price.

Thank you for your answer. I'm glad it didn't flood my brand new kitchen! piece a cr** !!!
